This post is about student loans
And video game piracy. Also free housing. Pretty much anywhere where finances are involved, some people want to fuck the next generation instead of helping them.
Wait why piracy all of a sudden. Didn’t we agree that people who don’t buy games won’t buy them anyway even if piracy didn’t exist? Thus the denuvo lack of purpose because it doesn’t raise sales. Yet many of those same folks are willing to pay to indie devs even if their games are often laughably easy to pirate. It’s about the principles.
For example Hollywood is such rotten hive of misogynist assholes that one may not want to fund them. Or not get royalty to Rowling for the potter game.
By starving bad companies we have a personal freedom to leave generations with only the best devs and brands such as Larian-motherfuking-Studios.
Hell if it wasn’t so risky IRL I’d probably steal Nestle food by tons and share it too. Let’s leave generations without that company.
“You guys should install denuvo into your game because console players have to pay to play it but on PC you can just pirate it. It’s not fair for them to get to play it for free while we had to buy it”
Goddammit this is brilliant in so many ways, and no we are not the ones pulling the lever, in real life trolley problem.
I mean if you’re in the USA many of you are pulling the lever everyday really. It’s just that y’all constantly choose not to run over the wealthy and the corrupt in exchange for peace, love, or whatever reason you may have. But the easy access to weaponry does mean you’re constantly pulling a lever.
The problem is the green guys have no issues running y’all over daily.
Green guys
What do ogres have to do with this now
I thought they were more of a brownish orange?

Well you see, they’re like onions
Oh God. SHREK WAS TELLING US THERE IS NOTHING INSIDE OF HIM
That one deserves a repost in leftymemes!
Somehow I don’t think choosing between money and lives is a problem for that guy in any way whatsoever. The fact that the money would probably be salvageable even if the trolley hit it makes it even worse.
Yeah but it would be all scattered around and stuff. Some horrible poor person might try to pick some of it up. We certainly wouldn’t want that.
Them being red and blue is a nice touch
Needs a punchline. That last panel is completely pointless and wastes a good setup imo.

I think that’s a very generous read, and I just don’t see it. The first three panels are well done, but the last adds nothing. It’s like someone ending a Little Johnny joke with “and then the teacher sent him to the principal’s office” instead of with whatever dirty thing Johnny said that was supposed to be the actual punchline.

Lol, I never suggested anything about the author’s writing process and I certainly never even implied that I thought you were a dumbass, which I don’t. But now I’m not convinced you’re not the actual cartoonist, since you seem to have intimate knowledge of their creation process and their recreational habits. It’s not a “character study”—you would need characters for that—it’s a setup with no punchline, it’s half a joke. Actually, it’s worse, it’s a joke with a decent punchline, followed by a whole extra panel that just restates what the reader already learned in the previous panel with the actual punchline, making me feel like the author thinks I’m a dumbass.

Sorry I didn’t read and respond to that wall of text, lol. All I’ll say is, If you need 6 paragraphs to explain why it’s a good joke, it’s not a good joke.
I think it’s fine as it is. It’s trading funny for poignanncy
Except the last panel isn’t poignant either. Like I said, it’s useless. It would be just as poignant without it, and if they had actually written a punchline, it could have been funny too.
